Alberto Tarable is a researcher at IEIIT-CNR
(Institute of Electronics, Computer and Telecommunication Engineering
of the Italian National Research Council). He received his Master
Degree and his PhD degree in 1998 and 2002, both from Politecnico di
Torino. From 2002 to 2011, he has worked as a research associate in the
Communication Group of Politecnico di Torino. He has been visiting
scholar in several international universities, among which the
University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and the University of
Cambridge.

His main research topics have encompassed most aspects of the
physical-layer design of communications. Particularly, his main
achievements are: the design of a low-complexity iterative receiver for
MIMO systems, based on linear filtering, which shows very good
performance; the analysis and optimization of a randomized protocol for
a single-transmitter single-receiver network with an arbitrary number
of relays; a hardware architecture for the parallel implementation of
the turbo decoder; the design and optimization of an iterative receiver
for code-division multiple-access systems.

Dr. Tarable has participated to several projects, funded by
public bodies and by private companies, among which the most important
are:

Wimagic: a European project involving both universities and
companies from all over Europe, aiming at influencing the
standardization of the next-generation broadband access networks.

DVB-NGH-RAI: a project funded by the public Italian
Broadcasting Company (RAI), to study MIMO solutions for the DVB-NGH
standard.

ADVISE: a project funded by the European Space Agency, with the
objective of exploring new solutions for the physical layer of
positioning systems like GPS and Galileo.

Polito-Ericsson project: a project funded by Ericsson, with the
aim of studying iterative receiver solutions for MIMO channels affected
by phase noise.

Dr. Tarable is the co-author of several tens of publications
in the leading international journals and conferences. He serves as a
reviewer for the most important journals in the field of
communications, like IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, IEEE
Transactions on Communications, IEEE Communication Letters, IEEE
International Symposium on Information Theory, etc. He has also a wide
teaching experience, having taught several courses in many different
subjects of telecommunications. He is IEEE Member.
